Anno XXXIII - n.4 - ottobre/dicembre 2000 La bicicletta di Einstein
The physics of bicycle riding lends itself to simple discussions that might be useful for teaching. The article offers two examples on curving. The first example concerns the relationship between the radius of the curve, the angle the handle bar is turned and the length of the bike. […]
Anno XXXVII - n.2 - aprile/giugno 2004 La “bottiglia zampillante” di Anacleto 2003
Every year the Olympiad Group of the Association for the Teaching of Physics suggests to high school students a non-competitive physics test, the ‘Anacleto Games’. The test consists in answering a series of questions and making an experiment. Although the activity is suggested at a very elementary degree, […]
Anno XXXV - n.1 - gennaio/marzo 2002 La circuitazione del campo gravitazionale determinata sperimentalmente
Using a simple apparatus built with low-cost and easy to find materials, we measure the line integral of the earth’s gravitational field along a closed path and we find that its value is null. […]
Anno XXXIX - n.4 - ottobre/dicembre 2006 La classe in moto: analisi di una corsa
Students running a race were timed at fixed distances, the measured data were plotted as position vs time diagrams and analysed from a kinematic point of view. The students were at the centre of the learning process and participated enthusiastically in this learning experience. […]
Anno XLIII - n.3 - luglio/settembre 2010 La conservazione dell’energia nel tiro con l’arco
The article describes a simple but effective experiment on energy conservation. The experiment was performed in the school physics lab using the Tracker program and an archers’ bow. […]
